McCarthy Lyrics by Avail

4AM Friday

1996

[Verse 1]
I tried to breathe but I wouldn't
I think it's gonna catch up one day
One chance to reshape wrong
Backtrack out of the shell
One more chance to understand, to be a different way
And I hope that it won't take long

[Chorus]
It's time to rotate
It's time to rotate
It's time to rotate
In the right direction
And reshape imperfection
And reshape imperfection
And reshape imperfection
You smother me

[Verse 2]
All I see around is changing
Making it tough to stay
I've twisted my thoughts to words
The ground I knew looks different from inside
But the path out is far too wide to decide today
But somewhere I'll find my place

[Bridge]
Try moving, moving, moving, moving
Try moving, moving, moving, moving
Try moving, moving, moving, moving
Try moving, moving, moving, moving

[Verse 3]
I tried to leave but I couldn't
I think I'll try again someday
And maybe I'll make it work
I'll plan my route but not think it out
Drop out of sight and ease on out
I'm gonna find my way
And someday I'll make it work
